The Stealth Hitches Trailer Hitch with Towing Kit part # 391TES317T for a 2020 Tesla Model 3 contains a wiring harness which installs by splicing into the tail light circuits on the vehicle. It would not interact with the Tesla Trailer Mode. That said, there would be no affect on this program with the above wiring harness and it would still work as normal. The mode can be engaged manually though in-dash settings. I have attached for you below what all the program does per the manufacturer.

Some Autopilot features, as well as rear parking sensor functionality, may not be available when Trailer Mode is enabled. In addition, these features operate differently:

- Traffic-Aware Cruise Control increases the following distance from the vehicle in front of you.
- Side collision warnings are active but automatic steering interventions are disabled.
- The braking force provided by Automatic Emergency Braking (see Collision Avoidance Assist) may be limited. Therefore, stopping distance may increase.
